I'm sorry you feel that way but I disagree. Note when I made the comment there were very few other comments. I've been posting to this forum for 13 years. If humour and wit are not considered appropriate then I will attempt to refrain from their application to succinctly convey an idea.
Take a look at every other flagged comment in the same thread from other users and note what they have in common. It isn't conversation style.
- dang 6y agoPeople overestimate their own humour and wit, and underestimate the provocations they supply to others. I don't mean to pick on you personally—we all do this. But it's certainly a thing. I'm well aware that you've been posting here for 13 years. I think that's great. Unfortunately your recent comments (say, this year at least) have been full of swipes at other users—not all of them (fortunately!), but enough that you've been doing it routinely. That's just not cool. Would you please edit those out when you post? I certainly don't want to ban you but we ban others for that kind of thing and at some point we have to apply the rules fairly. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
